FIRE-PROOF SAFE.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 273,585, dated March 6, 1883.

Application filed February 5, 1883. No model.)

I 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, MOSES MOSLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, county of Hamilton, State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Fire-Proof Safes, of. which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in fire-proof safes, the object being to provide an improved means of constructing the outer casing so that the safe may be filled from the bottom. YVith this object in View, my invention consists in certain details of construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed outin the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical transverse section of a fireproof safe embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the safe, showing the removable bottom plate drawn out, or, rather, started into its place.

The front and back frames, A, of the safe are tormed from angle-bars which have one side cut away where the bends are to be made and the uncut side bent around to close the joint in the corner and form a frame with its outer corners rounded. The meetingjoint at the bottom of the frame is united by a short angle-piece, a, overlapping thejoint on the iu-" side and screwed or riveted to theframe A.

B is the sheet-metal cover, which is bent around the top sides and around the lower rounded corners of the frames. Upon each edge of the sheet B, between the angle frames, are secured metal bars O, which project beyond the edges of the sheet B to form rests for the bottom plate 1).

E is the customary sheet-metal box forming the interior receptacle. It is secured to the cast-metal door-frame in the usual manner.

The top of the caster-frame F conforms to the curve of the rounded corners, and after the plate D is pushed into its place the inner bolts which secure the casterframes pass through the angle-frames and plate 1).

I do not claim in this application the bent angle-frames, nor the safe composed-of these frames and the sheet bent around them, the same being shown and claimed by me in a pending application.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, in a fire-proof safe, of the frames A, sheet-metal cover B, bent around the top sides and lower corners, with bars O and lower removable plate, D, substantially as specified.

MOSES MOSLER.
